I have a really strange question about upgraded exhausts...

For those of you who have to let your car warm up in the winter and have larger/louder pipes, is it real loud while idling at the highspeed idle (when warming up)?

I am not sure if ECU cars have high speed idle or not, but I know that my truck is already kinda loud warming up in the mornings just with the dual air-filter mod, I wouldn't want to wake up/ tick off the neighbors when I upgrade the pipes.

 

No one has a response? Not a simple "yes its loud" or "no its quiet"?

 

Mine is not any louder at all warming up at high idle with the new Vortex muffler I just had installed. Sounds pretty much the same until after 2000 rpm.

 

since ive installed my headers, the exhaust in the morning when its cold is much louder than when its warmed up.

My exhaust is louder during warm-up, but not piss-off-the-neighbors loud.

 

Thats because when your engine is cold, it runs a little richer to help it warm up quicker. Then when it reaches proper temperature it backs it off to save fuel. I love my dynomax. Sometimes I wish it was louder, and some times I wish it was quieter. More and more, I think its just right .
